Jesus began his final discourse with a sharp warning - Beware of the “ many deceivers ” who would come and spread false information about his return based on wars, earthquakes, and other calamities. They would “ deceive many .” Likewise, “ false prophets ” and “ false anointed ones ” would propagate lies about his whereabouts and “ coming on the clouds of Heaven .”

In his first epistle, John declares it is the Last Hour, a period elsewhere called the “ Last Days .” As evidence, he points to the false teachers in the Church who disrupt the congregations under his care. They are the products and instruments of the “ Spirit of Antichrist .” They are the forerunners of the final “ Antichrist ” who is yet to come.

The Antichrist Spirit works to destroy the church from within, especially through deception spread by false teachers and other deceivers  – 1 John 2:18-22. In popular preaching, the  Antichrist  is a political tyrant bent on world domination. However, Jesus and his Apostles expressed more concerns about the  deceivers  who would spread false teachings in the Church than about political powers. The New Testament applies ‘ Antichrist ’ and related terms to false teachers infiltrating the Body of Christ and distorting the Apostolic Teachings.

Приход Иисуса будет означать воскресение и конец Последнего Врага, а именно Смерть - 1 Коринфянам 15:24-28. Некоторые члены общины в Коринфе отрицали будущее воскресение праведников. В ответ Павел подчеркнул, насколько необходимо наше воскресение, и сослался на прошлую смерть и воскресение Иисуса. Его воскресение было и остается прецедентом для нашего будущего воскресения. Мы будем воскрешены телесно, когда он “ прибудет ”, и его появление положит конец Смерти.

Иисус Христос открывает тайны Божьи. Только он способен раскрыть природу “ невидимого Бога ”. В нем исполняются все Божьи обетования. Христос является ключом к толкованию Священных Писаний и правильному пониманию библейских пророчеств. Это особенно заметно в Книге Откровение , где жертвенный “ Агнец ” правит Землей и Космосом.

Jesus Christ unveils the Mysteries of God. Only he is qualified to reveal the nature of the “ unseen God .” In him, all the promises of God find their fulfillment. He is the interpretive key that unlocks the Scriptures and the correct understanding of Bible prophecy. This is especially so in the Book of Revelation as the sacrificial “ Lamb ” reigns over the Earth and Cosmos.
